Starting to plan a ground up tank build. I have a largeish archway in my kitchen (thanks to the previous owners dumba$$e$)
The idea: Short stand maybe two or three feet with a five foot tall tank and lighting recessed into the archway the length of the archway is approximately 45" and the depth I can reasonably use is approximately three feet.
Question 1: For that size is the depth going to be to shallow?
Question 2: Glass or acrylic? Both have their merits
Question 3:less wont suffice for this size tank will they? (not a set out there I have researched that will work and metal halides would be to hot for a reccessed light fixture)
Any other advice is dually welcome
